The original Babylonian haftara readings for these 10 Babylonian sections (3 prior to 9 Av and 7 after) are recorded by [Rambam at the end of his siddur](https://www.sefaria.org/Mishneh_Torah%2C_The_Order_of_Prayer.5.4) as follows:

+ Mattot -- Joshua 13:15-14:5 (giving east bank to 2.5 tribes)
+ Masei -- Joshua 19:51-21:8 (division of the land)
+ Devarim -- Jeremiah 30:4-22 (speech beginning וְאֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים)
+ Vaetchanan -- Jeremiah 32:16-44 (prayer to God)
+ Ekev -- Jeremiah 2:2-4:2 (God accompanied us in the desert)
+ Reeh -- Jeremiah 23:5-24 (punishment to false prophets)
+ Shofetim -- Samuel 1:8:1-22 (laws of a king)
+ Ki Teitzei -- Samuel 1:17:1-18:14 (about a war encampment)
+ Ki Tavo -- Joshua 8:30-10:14 (about the blessings and curses at Har Grizim)
+ Nitzavim -- Joshua 24:1-13 (a leader's final speech to the masses)

The ones you see printed are from [Psikta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesikta_de-Rav_Kahana) which have largely supplanted the originals (see Tosafot Megilla 31b).
